    I find it UNLIKELY that Void Slayer will Sabotage this, so I'll just jump in and No Sabotage it myself.

    Naalu's action card passes, Jol-Nar's Dreadnought in the Naalu Home System is destroyed, and the turn moves to the L1z1x.

    Haven't heard much from the Dear OverMind recently, but I believe he would approve of this:

    Activate Vega System
    Move 1 Destroyer, 2 Cruiser and a Carrier with 2 GFs, 1 MI and 2 Fighters into Vega from 0.0.0
    Exhaust Saudor and Tequ’ran (4R) to build a Space Dock on Vega Major

    Jolly Nar buddies! We hope the recent friendship fleet parade at our recent peacekeeping maneuvering exercise has cemented our forever undying trust! After all, the specter of Muaat aggression still hangs over us, as well as the Naalu who could at any moment activate their home system to fire their PDS again to almost guarantee a cruiser kill if not the flagship too!

    Indeed. Before we get to the Space Battle, Jol-Nar may elect to use PDS Fire against Muaat's units.

    I do not plan on invading your homeworld.

    Then again you really couldn't stop me at this point if I was going to.

    Jol-Nar elects to use PDS Fire against the entering Muaat fleet.

    Pre-battle: Jol-Nar PDS Fire 4d10 = {4, 3, 2 < 6; 8 > 6}, Graviton Laser System Reroll 3d10 = {7, 8, 8 > 6}, 4 hits. Muaat, what units will take the hits?

    Round 5 - Battle at The Lucky Lady

    Muaat removes 4 fighters and plays Action Card "Flanking Tactic" from his hand before the battle.

    Flanking Tactic
    Your opponent may not retreat from the battle (regardless of Special Abilities or Action Cards that would allow a retreat).
    Play: Immediately before a Space Battle in which you are participating.

    I'm going to expedite things by assuming that nobody will want to play a Sabotage on this card and allow it to pass automatically.

    Round 1: Muaat Flagship 3d10 = {4, 3 < 5; 7 > 5}, Destroyer 1d10+1 = {4 < 9}, 1 hit. Yin removes his Destroyer.
    Yin Destroyer 1d10+1 = {4 < 9}, miss.

    Combat resolves in favor of Muaat and the turn moves on to the Creuss.
